The EU 2010 Biodiversity Baseline provides
facts and figures on the state and trends of the
different biodiversity and ecosystem components.
It thereby supports the EU in developing the
post‑2010 sub‑targets and provides factual data
for measuring and monitoring progress in the EU
from 2011 to 2020.

Europeans consume more natural resources than Europe’s environment can produce. Our consumption undermines the capacity of European ecosystems to provide goods and services and puts severe strain on the global environment.

The report brings together a review of available scenarios studies relevant to environmental assessment and decision-making at the European (or sub-European) scale (263 studies), and facts sheets of selected 44 studies using common description categories, which enables the user to review existing scenario studies that may be of relevance to their particular interest and benefit from them. It is also a contribution to the evolving knowledge base for Forward-Looking Information and Services (FLIS).
